BetterStoneHarvest
Stop looking for ores on the map and chasing the ores that roll into the sea. Wouldn't it be better to use me to automatically collect the ores you dig into your backpack? --Stop scouring the map for ores and chasing those rolling into the sea! Why not let my Mod auto-collect mined ores into your backpack instead?

✨ Function description
2025.12.11: Delete the redundant debugging logs in the Mod. It does not occupy the resources of the console. There is no substantial function update. Players who think it is not in the way can not update the Mod.
2025.11.13: Repaired the Mod function that became invalid due to the addition of new maps, and made the following changes: it no longer produces double ore, but adjusts the durability of the ore veins to 1 point, only needs to use a pickaxe once to break the stone, and re-optimizes the function of automatically storing ores into the backpack. Now, automatic storage will make full use of the space in the backpack.
2025.11.20: Fixed the visual error of ore that has been mined due to the error in the ore production cycle.
2025.11.24: Fixed the problem that the ore health of the Rome map is inconsistent with the ore health of other maps.
background
I prefer the island map, but this map belongs to the early period. It cannot be said that it is very rich. It can only be said that it is so poor that a bird is not willing to shit. Especially this ore, it cannot be said that there is a lot of it. It can only be said that it is harder than finding water in the desert. Moreover, mining and shipping are stupid. Most of the time, mining takes place at night. When you mine, the ore will roll around and you have to work hard to pick it up. So we have this Mod to reduce the time of mining, save your life, and do more interesting things.
Mod function
This Mod provides mining efficiency optimization:
- Mining will get double the ore, but it also requires more digging. For example, if you originally dug 5 times with a pickaxe and exploded 4 pieces of copper ore, you now need to dig 10 times and exploded 8 pieces of copper ore.
- The ores obtained from mining will be automatically received in the backpack, and there is no need to manually pick them up.
📦 Technical details
- Modification: Through the Harvestable.Start pre-patch, the durability of the map ore and the income are doubled, and then through the Resource.SpawnResourcesServer pre-patch, the mined ore can be automatically collected into the backpack.
- Compatibility: No conflicts with other mods found.

✨ Feature Description
2025.12.11: Removed redundant debug logs from the Mod to avoid consuming console resources. There are no substantial functional updates. Players who are not bothered by the logs may choose not to update this Mod.
2025.11.13: Fixed mod features that broke due to the addition of the new map, and implemented the following changes:
- Removed double ore drops.
- Adjusted ore vein durability to 1, so rocks now break with a single pickaxe hit.
- Re-optimized the automatic ore collection into the inventory—ores will now be packed efficiently to fully utilize available backpack space.
2025.11.20: Fixed an issue with incorrect ore respawn timing and resolved a visual bug where already-mined ores appeared incorrectly.
2025.11.24: Fixed an inconsistency where ore health points (HP) on the Rome map differed from those on other maps.
Background
I love the Island map, but this early-game area isn't just "not wealthy"—it's so barren that even birds refuse to shit here. The ore deposits aren't just "scarce"—finding them is harder than locating water in a desert. Plus, mining mechanics are utterly ridiculous: most mining happens at night, and ores roll away when mined, forcing you to chase them down. This Mod solves both issues—reducing grind time and saving your life for more fun activities.
Mod Features
This Mod optimizes your mining efficiency:
- Mining now yields double the ore, but requires double the hits. For example:
- Original: 5 pickaxe hits → 4 copper ores.
- With Mod: 10 pickaxe hits → 8 copper ores.
- Harvested ores automatically go into y …
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
